been to be unable to distinguish be-

CHAPTER Xv.-CoHTrHUED.

CHAPTER XV.-CoNTINUED.
Helen burst into tears, claspcd her
arms about the neck of the jailer's wife
and fell sobbing on her bosom. 1t was
so sweet after receiving such cold, cruel
treatment, to find one warm, sympa-
thetic heart on which she could rely.
Mrs. Bridges consoled her, kissed away
her tears, and told her to trust in the
Lord and she would come triumphantly
out of all her troubles in the end.
Helen took her place as one of the
1ailcr's family, and Mrs. Bridges kept
her constantly at her side. When the
prisoner took down the family Bible
and opening at Deuteronomy, fourth
chapter, thirticth and thirty-frst
verses, she felt that the hand of God
had surely directed her to the blessed
promise contained in those two verses
"When thou art in tribulation, and
all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days, if thou turn to
the Lord thy God and shall be obedient
unto His voice for the Lord thy God
is mcrciful GOdD; He will not forsake
thee, nor forget the covenant of thy
fathers, which he swore unto them"
Helen closed the Bible, and clasping
her hands remained for a moment in
silent prayer. How light and joyous
her heart at that moment. A true
Christian can not be downcast and sad,
for if death sweeps away every earthly
friend, they know they are only gone
to better land. If clouds of darkness,
sorrow and suffering surround them,
they know that there is a Heaven where
clouds, darkness, sorrow and suffering
never come. Helen was happy at that
moment. Her tears were dried and
sweet smile was upon her face. II she
were sent to the penitentiary she would
go cheerfully and pray God to have
mercy on the false witnesses who had
worked her ruin. She could forgive
even the Arnolds. She could pray God
TO forgive them, and bless them with
happiness. Do you doubt this, reader?
II you do, you know nothing Of a
truly converted Christian heart. There
was no bitterness in Helen's soul. She
was Christ-like.

the prosecuting attorney, came to see

One effort more, o soul, TO break the chains

With characters Of glory, and to climb
The steep ascent, with songs in place of tears,
At thirty years!

To be the slave of sloth and sordid fears,

"oH, HELEN! HELEN! HOW YOU HAVE
SUFFERED.

Darling Rosa, the Lord has been
very good to me. He has always given
me strength beyond my trials"

Clarence, entering and taking Helen's

Clarence said Helen, with a smile
upon her face. There is no need of
any ones being without happiness.
Oh, there is so much here and she

Rosa kissed her again and again, de-
claring she never would desert her,
while Clarence was dumfOundcd; his
earnest zeal wanted to "punch some
body's head" but Helen forbade that.
He must do something, though it was

the magistrate. Here his hopes were
dashed to the ground upon being in
formed that minor could not be ac-
ccpted rs bail for the prisoner. But
the girl was innocent; she was an
angel, he knew her to be an angel.
The magistrate smiled and said he
had seen good many, and all were
angels ut first. Some never acknowl-
edged to it, and she might be one of
the kind; but there could really be no
mistake about it. She was an unfor-
tumate girl, had his sympathy, too, but
he guessed she was guilty.
Clarence left in despair and went to
consult lawyer. Mr.. John Layman
had the reputation of being a fair law
yer, and he would employ him.
Good morning. Clarence" said
Mr.. Layman, stroking his long, black
whiskers, on the entrance Of the young
farmer.
81 came, Mr.. Layman, to get you to
attend to case, said Clarence, sitting
in chair near the lawyer. Mr.. Layman
laid aside newspaper he was reading,
and, thrusting his hands in his pockets,
was all attention.
"You have heard of Helen Lakeman's
arrest. want you to defend her"
The lawyer was soon employed, CLAIR

set out at once for the Jail. where Mr..

Helen then proceeded to tell all she
knew of the unfortunate affair. The
gold bracelet was found in her carpet
bag, but how il got there she did not

get enough when I'm woman. They
beat me, too. But know them. Their
chief is Bill Jones and his chief Is Jim
Arnold"
The brother and sister started. very
naturally, at hearing the name of m an
mentioned whose bad qualities they
had been discussing. Crazy Jane now
seemed to become more excited, and
continued:

But I'm a sheep now, and must hunt

imitation of II sheep the insane creature
ran away.
Rose breathed more freely when
she had disappeared in the dark
woods. At the top of the next hill
they met Bill Jones and his brutal
hired man hunting for the escaped lu-
matte. Clarence directed them rs best

and then drove home. He was not on
good terms with the keeper of the poor
house, so exchanged as few words as
possible.
When they reached home Rose
found her mother anxiously awaiting
their return. She judged from the
look of anxiety upon her mother's
face that there had been stormy
afternoon at home. The father was
not to be seen, and she thought best TO
ask nothing about him at present.
Come in, Rose said Mrs Stuart.
leading the way to her sitting-room.
No words were spoken until the wraps
of the girl had been removed, and then
the mother anXiously said:

Yes"
"Whcre?"
"At the Jail"
"Oh, Rose, have they really got Ter
in jail?"
Eyes, mother, though she is permit
ted to stay with the family of the
jailcr."
Mrs. Stuart was silent. Her large
eyes were fixed on the carpet. She
wanted to ask something more, but al
most feared to. At last she said, in q
tone of desperation:
'.ROse. how does she bear it?"
with Christian resignation and
fortitude, mother. Oh, mother, !
never saw more angelic picture Of
Christian faith than that girls face.
From the Bible she gathers hope and
happiness, even in the darkest hour.
She admits that the bracelet was found
in her possession, but says she can not
account for it, She expects imprison-
ment, and yet she says there is such
world of consolation in the Scriptures
that she is willing to forgive those who
were first in her prosecutions.
Mrs. Stuart sat long gazing upon the
carpet. The lighted lamp shone
bright in the room, and an expression
of pain could be seen upon the good
woman's face. She was Inundated.
There was great struggle going on in
her breast, and she was yet undecided.
/" Poor girl she sighed. Do yor
think she is innocent?'
" Yes, mother, know it,"
% How do you know it?" asked the
father, gruflly, as he entered the apart
mcnt, how do yom know any thing
